Hi everyone, it has been a long winter here in Wisconsin.
But on the sunny side I got some shots of Pileated woodpeckers together. We feed birds year round, and once in a great while we would get a glimps of one of these big guys. But never to get a good picture. By the time I would get the camera and get back to the window puff it was gone. Well this is a-ha year with them.
So I just thought I would share some of them. Hope you enjoy!

And this shot I got Friday afternoon, in the middle of one more of our snow storms.

Nice, I know what you mean, they can be very difficult to get close enough to, did you use a blind?

Kinda, I took them from my house one big blind. Open window with camo over it.

WOW! Super captures! It looks like the one on top in the bottom picture is thinking "Oops. Now what do I do?" :lol:
